I'm sure any Israeli will tell you that you are dead wrong here. There was an outcry in my congregation here, most certainly, and we're all Zionists.

'The Israeli also didn't want Rabin's deal. '

Quoting you.

But Rabin seemed quite willing to go ahead with it. Murdering him was the most sure-fire option to stop him.

The car of Nazia Abu-Saba, a known Hamas terrorist, mysteriously exploded in Jenin. Abu-Saba died, and few kids playing nearby were injured.
The Palestinians report that an Israeli helicopter was hovering above the city during the explosion, but it didnt fire missiles.

Arafat offered reasonable compromise 25 years ago, already.

Back then, he often visited Austria, as a guest of our then head of government, Kreisky. They were friends, and agreed on most things.

Kreisky was our greatest statesman in the previous century. And, btw, he was Jewish.

Rabin was murdered in rally of support for which thousands turned up.

The reason why Rabin was not supported more wasn't some will to dominate the land, but the anger over prevalent palestinian terracts, just like now.


I must stress out again, Comrade, your ideas about Israel, Jews and Zionism, are no doubt interesting. However they are very very far from the truth.

I dont' know whether those are assumptions or speculations, which are strengthened by ambigous international media reports, or simply relying on some very anti-israeli biased source.

But Israelis, Zionists and Jews are really not the evil opressive monsters you think them to be.

We're simply trying to defend our lives and coutnry against a group of people, who from the beginning of our country had a mindset to destroy us. We could go about it differently from how you would, but that's all.

There's a very small group of people, mostly ultra-nationalist or ultra-religious or ultra-mistrusting who hold views close to what you imagine the view of a common israeli to be.

quote:

Seriously?

I seemed to think he murdered athletes, attempted to murder heads of state (jordan), hijacked planes, started civil wars (lebanon).

Perhaps you know his good doing and rational twin brother?

quote:

Arafat was, and is a liar.

In the 70s (iirc) he covertly kidnapped some Soviet diplomats and pressured USSR to pressure Syria not to annihilate him. Overtly, he offered the soviets help in recovering the kidpnapped diplomats. to the soviet's surprise, the men he presented as those that will 'seek out and free russian diplomats' were the ones KGB suspected of carrying out the abduction.

Enjoyed that story ; it doesn´t ring very plausible, though: If you messed with the Soviets like that, chances were you ended up dead. Last time I checked, Arafat was still among us. (Though, with Sharon, you don´t know how long.)

I have enough information from Israeli news agencies and Israeli intelligence services and Russian news services to determine that Arafat is in very good relations with splinter groups and is interested in giving them a free hand.

To prove that I once again metnion how he himself, not pressured by anyone, released the terrorists from jails in the first month of the intifada in oct 2000.

I don't confuse Palestinians with Palestinian leadership and Fanatics. I've mentioned that.

I remind you that most jews, whether or not are fulfuling the "call" of zionism or not, are zionists, ie believe in the jewish right to live in Israel under their own rule.

I'm not familiar with Neturai Karta.

Noam Chomsky I'm familiar with. He's a favourable wierdo with Extreme-lefist groups and anti-semitic types. I happen to read that his books are published by known anti-semitic grops in europe, and is befriended with some. It's not very uncommon for anti-semites to befriend jews - there was another jew who claimed the bible and later additions to it are root of all evil. What he did, is interpert things, in ways which are not "standard" and are not suitable for the bible.

Indeed, one could find justification for many bad things in the bible. But it's the choises you make in interpertation that count.

quote:

I'd be very interested in seeing what self-governed country exactly they had in 1947.

I remind you again, that many of the arabs living here now also immigrated to palestine along with the jews, since it was becoming a pretty successfull area during the jewish settlement in the 19th century and later under brittish mandate.

quote:

?
Had that group determined the policies we wouldn't be sitting, waiting for Arafat to finally take action against terrorists, but would have long ago built Temple 3 and blown up Al-aqsa mosque.

I do not believe Bushmen are evil. Infact I believe they finally are right since they don't use appeasment which is an idiotic strategy that can't deal with terrorists.

quote:
I think you are mixing him up with everybody, including the Baader-Meinhof gang.

I think you're not as familiar about arafat's ties with other palestinian groups. He is after all head of the PLO.

Further more, tell me, did you know he is responsible for creating the tension between muslims and christians in lebanon and used the civil war to gain power?

quote:

Not true. They couldn't really prove it, and Arafat was a major political player in those days.

Still, the soviet communist party was lead by scum similar to Arafat. Scum that taught guys like Arafat everything they know, so they didn't hate him that much.

quote:
Last time I checked, Arafat was still among us. (Though, with Sharon, you don´t know how long.)


Tell me, if you think Arafat had nothing to do with the terror in the middle east, what infact has he done?

You occasionally meet real Palestinian extremists on forums like this one. Two things about them are easily determined:

1 They are raving mad.
2 They want Arafat´s head on a pole.

Common sense suggests those are the people responsible for irrational acts of terrorism.

That is positively untrue. Noam Chomsky is respected by political scientists around the world, and his writings serve as the base of university courses. No one except lunatics has ever called him an anti-semite.

Arafat is certainly the leader of the Palestinian resistance struggle. What he has done is trying to contain the extremists on his own side -and you never give him credit for that. If he is offered a reasonable deal, he takes it. His agreement with Rabin was working, until Rabin was killed by an Israeli.

And no, the palestinians aren´t perfect, far from it, but there´s no question regarding who´s the warmongering agressor here.

Search the web for "noam chomsky nazi" or something. You'll find he's mainly respected by Nazis.

I read some of his speeches. His main claim is "america is satan and israel is smaller satan".

I read a speech in which he claimed Iran is in no way a foe to the US.

I read a speech in which he claimed that since 1903 or something, USA schools have been inventing other history and teaching it in schools.

I read a speech where he claimed Egypt suggested a peace deal to Israel in 71, but no evidence exist bexist evil Israel destroyed it. Even such a notion is ludicrous since that would be like waving a white flag after 1967! An Arab leader would rather die than do that.

No way brother.

Not in a million years, will I see a person who targets and slaughters in a pre-meditated fashion - children, and innocent civilians, as a "freedom fighter".

They attack miltary targets? Legitimate.

But don't go throwing around leftist objectivist bullshit. A murderer of innocent people is a murderer of innocent people, and that's how it goes.

Sharon, a great leader for you, a war criminal and butcher for palestinians?

A) It was never proven in a court of law he was a war criminal
B) It was proven he only had indirect responsibility, due to his command, but was not aware of the butchery until after it ended.
C) He won a libel trial against some american newspaper claiming otherwise.

If Sharon's action makes him a war criminal, then I suggest war criminals Bush and Clinton and Blair be judged first - for fairness.
After all some of their actions took bad turns and caused the deaths of innocent.

This is also a lie. You´re not overly concerned with actual facts in your zionist propaganda, are you, Siro? Below is a letter from NC that categorically dismisses such nonsense:

quote:
June 1, 1989
Letter to the editor of the Canadian Jewish journal Outlook, in response
to allegations made by Werner Cohn
Reprinted in Milan Rai, Chomsky's Politics (Verso, 1995), pp. 200-201


Editor
Outlook
6184 Ash St., #3
Vancouver BC V5Z3G9
June 1, 1989

Dear Sir,


Observing the performances of Werner Cohn is a curious experience. An
occasional phrase has a relation to reality, but it takes an effort to
imagine what may lie behind the discourse.

In Outlook, May, Cohn presents a fevered account of a second existence
that he has conjured up for me, in France, where I pursue my secret life
as a neo-Nazi, hoping that no one outside of Paris will notice. He gives
two proofs. The first is what he calls his 'most crucial source': 'a joint
article by Chomsky and his friend Pierre Guillaume, "Une mise au point",'
in Guillaume's book Droit et Histoire. The second is that 'Chomsky could
have published the French version of his Political Economy of Human Rights
(written with Edward Herman) with a commercial publisher, but, in order to
show solidarity with VT [Vielle Taupe], Chomsky insisted on publishing the
book with it.'


Since I never wrote a 'joint article' with Guillaume, I was curious, and
after a search, found the book in question. Indeed, it contains the
chapter 'Une mise au point', written in first-person singular by
Guillaume, with no hint of any collaboration with me. I am mentioned in
it, and fragments of a letter of mine are quoted in which I discuss
changes in the U.S. intellectual climate since the 1960's (with typical
veracity, Cohn describes this as my 'comments on Guillaume's version of
the Chomsky-VT relationship', which is nowhere mentioned). By Cohn's
intriguing logic, I am also the co-author of his various diatribes --
perhaps in my third life, which he will expose in the next instalment.
Cohn asserts that I found 'nothing to correct in Guillaume's' account. He
has not the slightest idea what my reaction to the article is. Recall that
this 'joint article' is his 'crucial source'.

Let us turn to his second decisive piece of evidence. When I learned of
Cohn's fairy tales about the French translation of the book of Herman and
mine, I was intrigued. Of course, it is obvious even without further
inquiry that his claims are outlandish. There is no possible way that he
could know of my intentions (and those of my co-author, Edward Herman, who
somehow seems to have disappeared from the tale; perhaps I invented him as
a cover). But we need not speculate on Cohn's mystical ability to read
minds.


Standard procedure is to leave translations in the hands of the publisher.
I make no attempt to keep track of the innumerable translations of books
of mine in foreign languages. Curious about Cohn's allegations, I
contacted the publisher, who checked their files and located the contract
for the French translation -- with Albin-Michel, a mainstream commercial
publisher, to my knowledge. They did not know whether the translation had
appeared, never having received a copy. The same is true of my co-author
and me.

Note that these are the examples that Cohn selects as the decisive proof
of his theses. A rational person will draw the obvious conclusions about
the rest. Cohn makes two further claims. He says that in defending the
right of freedom of expression in the case of Robert Faurisson, I have
always 'indicated' that my '"diametrically opposed" view was more a matter
of opinion than of scientific knowledge' (a statement that he appears to
attribute to Guillaume); and I have always defended freedom of expression
'in terms that are absolutely incapable of hurting Faurrison [sic].'
Consider these allegations.


In Cohn's 'crucial source', cited above, Guillaume quotes my statement
that 'there are no rational grounds that allow any doubt about the
existence of gas chambers.' Thus Cohn is refuted by his own 'crucial
source.' In my own writings, from the earliest until the present, the
conclusions of standard Holocaust studies are taken simply as established
fact, as Cohn knows perfectly well. In the introduction to my first
collection of political essays, 20 years ago, I add that we have lost our
humanity if we are even willing to enter into debate over the Nazi crimes
with those who deny or defend them. The only particle of truth in Cohn's
absurd charge is that I never use the phrase 'scientific knowledge' in
dealing with any questions of history; my book with Herman, for example,
which is neither science nor mere opinion.

Turning to Cohn's second point, it is taken for granted by civil
libertarians that defense of freedom of expression is independent of the
views expressed. Thus when I sign petitions (and go far beyond that) in
the case of Soviet dissidents, some of whom have absolutely horrendous
views, I never allude to this fact in the slightest way. In signing
petitions supporting Salman Rushdie, I make no comment about whether his
book slanders Muslims. I have no doubt that this practice enrages mullahs
in Qom and commissars in the Kremlin as much as it does Werner Cohn, and
for the same reasons. Where no civil liberties issues arise, I have been
quite explicit about the fact that the views of Faurisson and others are
diametrically opposed to my own firm conclusions about the facts, as in
the statement quoted in Cohn's 'crucial source'.


The remainder of Cohn's ranting has to do with the alleged views of
others, and fanciful comments about France. His conceptions on these
matters are, naturally, of no concern to me.

That Cohn is a pathological liar is demonstrated by the very examples that
he selects. Knowing nothing about him, and caring less, I am in no
position to comment further on what may lie behind this odd and pathetic
behavior.


Sincerely yours,

Noam Chomsky

C´mon, Goit. You know as well as I do (even if you don´t want to admit it) that the hard-line zionists didn´t grieve to much about Rabin being shot and that these hard-liners is being protected by the Israeli government (since they are hard-liners themselves).

That's utter bullshit.

You know less than goingonit knows, and far less that I, to read into the reaction of the 'zionists'.

Whether people agreed with the Oslo process or not, such violence was viewed as a very serious threat to Israel's democracy and unity.

And what you're saing is unbased nonsense. Meaning you invented it of the top of your head, or someone did it for you.

You know we still mark Rabin's murder every year, and together with the lessons from the assassination and Rabin's contribution, and the way we're taught every year suggests a huge deal about how the Oslo process is the right and only way to true peace, even though it in actuality crumbled.

So that's the end of your 'zionists don't grieve about rabin and oslo' ramble.

I mean what´s the punishment for a settler that shoots a palestinian? A slap on the wrist at best...

What's that got to do with Rabin?

Parts of it were racist.

You're using your assumption and induction tactics again which don't really work in the real world, sorry.

It takes one lunatic to take a whole system down. He just has to be a mighty powerfull one.


But let's use your strategy. If UBL, a muslim arab, made terract, that suggests that the entire muslim arab population, or at least most of it, is one supporting of terror and murder of civilians?

Remember, you have to be consistent here.

Thank you.

That means so much coming from a racist brute such as yourself, proving everyday how little do you actually know about Israel, and how much info comes from your nazi-porn magazines.

This is also a lie. You´re not overly concerned with actual facts in your zionist propaganda, are you, Siro? Below is a letter from NC that categorically dismisses such nonsense:


1) Have I mentioned you're an idiotic ****?

2) The zionist propoganda isn't mine to own and your suggestion of this proves again your racist view of jews / zionists as a single bunch following the same mindset, like the Elders of Zion or something.

3) While I meanwhile concede that I had no information about these corrections and this letter, I assure you I'll do my best to find out more about Chomsky's lavish appologetics.

4) Do notice as I said that my opnion on chomsky comes mostly from reading his sociopathic essays, and not as much from that unclear relations with the nazis.

Gee I'm so glad your nazi-porn magazine keeps you updated with "typical zionists statements".

Tell us, what is the typical zionist statement of the day, today?

And another thing, is this in any way to suggest bourgeois (or middle to high class, in non revolutionary terms) itellectuals are different that non-bourgeois ones?

I want to clear that up. Perhaps you were just meaning that as an example to convince me. If so, I'd like to see that example.

I may have called you racist because of the rude way in which you present yourself and your views.

If I indeed called you racist you probably said something racist and I most likely explained what it was.

And FYI, I judge noone regarding to race/creed/skin colour, I judge regarding to actions. And IMO zionism is a racist ideology.

No.
Your problem is that you see nationalis, of which zionism is part of, as racist.

I completely disagree and think you're a bigot.

quote:
And no, the palestinians aren´t perfect, far from it, but there´s no question regarding who´s the warmongering agressor here.

Hmmm

Who, does Clinton or Deniss Ross or Bush blame for the violence? They were closest to the action during 2000, after Arafat and Barak.

Who started the intifada in 2000, even though peace talks continued?
Who continued the intifada during the time in which Barak continued peace talks until 2001?
Who released terrorists from their jail cells with the sole intention of getting them back to killing israelis in oct 2000 and since?

Did I say "support"? I said "respected", that´s not the same. And there´s a lot of intellectuals that respects and supports Chomsky. For instance:

Göran Greider, editor-in-chief of the social-democratic newspaper Dala-Demokraten
Jan Guillou, writer/journalist
Bono, artist
John Pilger, journalist

John Pilger inteviews Noam Chomsky

And, Siro, I don´t really give a **** if you think I´m a racist, my views are not uncommon in the swedish leftist enviroment.
